Special Thanks to the guys at CRASHBOOMBANG MEDIA (http://www.facebook.com/crashboombng ), look those dudes up! 

They provided additional camera operators and were awesome! 

A note from Jonathan Killoran

Can't believe I got to make this. The 6 year old version of me's brain exploded all over his Saturday morning cartoons getting to shoot a weird, old-school, intentionally low-budget "guys in rubber suits" Godzilla / Power Rangers inspired mini-city battle! I had a lot of fun creating this video from scratch, I hope you have fun watching it!
